Anyone tried this or have a recommendation for Mycorrhizal

its basically all the same crap. If its for a soil/soiless, coco or rockwool grow then any ol brand will do. For hydro like Dwc, Nft, Hpa, Lpa, I would suggest a major brand that's used by the majority for a same/similar grow style. Mabey a little more info on your plans and I could better help you.

I really like to use only one type of bacteria at a time. U have to think of it like how would this work in nature?? Only the strong survive. If you get a good idea how bacteria works and how some type are stronger than others, some types of bacteria will even eat a different bacteria as food. Once you get all those types of bacteria in there, they compete and kill eachother off which is not what you want. If you start with one type of bacteria, there will be no competition therfore will benifit your soil better. Learned alot about bacteria growing shrooms, it fukn suckd cause it kills mushrooms I learned the hard way haha... but helps plants!!
I always use myco's from extreme gardening. works awesome once its established, barely have to feed your plants and gives them an awesome taste and smell!! good stuff
im sure it works the same with hydro.... not 100% sure bout that tho??

Yes, Great White is a very good product and also X-treme Gardening.com. Consider this , one needs roots for the pant to grow, more roots the bigger the plant .Would never grow without some kind of root stimulator "mycorrhiza"

i wont grow without it either, I put off sowing seeds till I got my mycos!! if it actually gets to the right balance it makes your shit crazy!! I had some monsters with mycos, check out my avatar!! MYCO'S DID THAT( along with some other stuff)

I love mycorrhiza too and yes it really does work. If you are using tap/city water you are just tossing your money away,the added levels of chloramine kills all beneficial micro life immediaty so your plants have almost no benefit.

hell yeah dude. I only soak in humic and fulvic acid. 12 hrs later they get rolled in trichoderma inoculant. This is my bio-control against damping-off. Then once they root, then its game on with AACT. Just picked up a gallon of aquashield yesterday. Check out https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/361430-dwc-root-slime-cure-aka.html this dude really knows his shit. The badass thing about his thread is that even tho it geared towards DWC and fixing problems, its still a super charged AACT and can be use for any growing style, preventative or curative. Bottom line if you want facts and testimonials read the thread.

A cheaper solution to the same place for an AACT.
5 gallon bucket
2 outlet airpump
2 - 4 foot airlines w/6inch air stones on the end
1/3 cup Dr Earth alfalfa meal
1/3 cup worm castings
1/3 cup BLACKSTRAP molasses
assemble the air lines to the air pump. Place the air stones as far apart as possible in the bucket (sitting flat on the bottom).
Pour in 4 gallons and 14 cups of air temp water.
Take 2 cups of warm water and dissolve the molasses in it. Add that to the bucket, along with the worm castings and the alfalfa meal.
plug in the air pump and keep as near 70 F as possible for 48 hrs!
VIOLA! a nice AACT that covers the spectrum.....Not only cheaper but you will make far more in the long run....

H2O2 really does kill them. The only reason it "really helps" in a hydro system is because it keeps it sterile, but you don't need that if your running bennies and mycos. A side effect of H2O2 is that it might add some O2 to the water as it breaks down, but you should have enough air flowing into your system, or enough waterfalls to keep it oxygenated enough to not have to rely on additional oxygen supplementation to begin with. Not sure if it's available in the UK but I use Orca by Plant Success...it's their liquid version of Great White and I love it.
Thanks!, thats expensive stuff here, oofft. is the stuff i bought not so good? or is it the water? Ill give a new batch of clones a try out.
Is it best to get it mixed in the soil, or in the hole or the rockwool? or dissolve it in water?
Adding h202 ive seen the difference in root growth, and how white and crisp they look when using it as opposed to not, but maybe i dont have my res bubbling enough, bought a 6" airstone because i just have the hose in the water. ooops

If your adding H202 with your bennies, your just killing all the bennies right away, along with the mycos which are already very sensitive to the P and K in the nutes

Macro nutrients: Macro nutrients are needed in large quantities and are essential to keeping healthy, beautiful plants. Following is a list of Macro nutrients:
- Oxygen: All organisms, including plants, need oxygen to breathe. Plants can take it up in the form of water, carbon dioxide, and as dissolved elemental oxygen. Most of the oxygen they take up is through respiration and through their roots. They also release oxygen during photosynthesis.
- Carbon Dioxide: Carbon dioxide is an extremely important plant nutrient. Plants need it for their photosynthesis processes to provide themselves with food and energy, and therefore they must have carbon dioxide to survive. Plants can take it up through their roots, but most of it is taken in by their leaves.
- Nitrogen: For plants, nitrogen is an extremely important nutrient in carrying out photosynthesis.
To make sure the correct amount of nitrogen is available, perform water changes on a regular basis and add fertilizer with every res change. - Potassium: Potassium often creates problems if there is not enough of it available for the plants. It serves several functions, including photosynthesis, producing proteins, aiding seed and root development, and battling diseases. It affects the overall appearance of the plant because if it is not taking in enough potassium, it becomes weakened overall due to the fact that potassium is needed in so many functions throughout the plant. To ensure there is enough potassium for the plants make sure the fertilize has the correct ratio, or somewhat close.
- Calcium: Calcium is needed for cell growth and structure in plants but there is usually enough in natural water supplies. You should be careful if you are using only reverse osmosis water or natural rainwater because these may not have enough calcium in them. Use tap water as the main water supply if possible.
- Magnesium: Magnesium is important for producing chlorophyll for photosynthesis, as well as to activate certain enzymes. Levels should be around 5 to 25 mg/L. Most hard tap water has sufficient magnesium levels but if you live in a soft water area you may want to consider using nutrient-rich substrate additives or liquid fertilizers. Too high of magnesium levels can cause problems with the plants taking up other nutrients however.
- Phosphorus: Phosphorus is needed to keep the roots and flowers of plants healthy and also to make enzymes and other important compounds. Plants need their phosphorus in the form of phosphates. They do not need large amounts of it, so generally you do not need to worry about a deficiency of it in the water, however a surplus can be a problem. Surpluses often occur due to algal blooms. The best remedy to this is simply to do regular water changes.
- Sulphur: Sulphur is used (once again) for producing chlorophyll to be used in photosynthesis and also to produce proteins and amino acids.
- Carbon: Carbon is needed to build the basic structure of plants. It is mostly taken up in the form of carbon dioxide, which is broken down during photosynthesis.

The purpose of these post is that mj can be grown in sterile enviroments, providing they get the required nutrients. You don't want bacteria because people smoke it and some consume mj. The simple solution to having healthy plants is give them what they need when they need it.
